the ache of reforming yourself into every version of love they might want

and still being left untouched and disregarded.

i could be yours. but i never was.

and i still don’t know how to stop offering.

the lover’s almanac : part one.

sweetness kept in ruin

this is a quiet place.

for things that hurt gently.

for the stuff that stays in your chest long after it ends.

you’ll find music, soft grief, notes that never got sent.

a bit of earth. a bit of ash.

mostly just whatever’s left when the song fades out.

honey on my hands, ash in my teeth.

Acknowledging that “critical thinking” means “thinking about things in a thorough way from different perspectives” and not “finding every flaw in a thing and fixating on it until all the joy is gone” is so liberating.

It’s supposed to be about intellectual curiosity, not about finding ways to devalue things that aren’t perfect or that we personally dislike.
